Still wrong though.

Absurd. Then again this is the whole identity politics, science and facts are just unwelcome opinions world we now live in. That’s what you get when education is no longer anchored in reality.

That’s how words work, yeah.

NEWSPEAK, newmath

Just don’t pretend this is new. This sort of manipulation has been going on forever. It’s just amplified at the moment.

New-hoo-hoo Math

It won’t do you a bit of good to learn New Math

It’s so simple

So very simple
